Joint rolling vs gift wrapping

I regard myself as an excellent joint roller and this afternoon, while wrapping a present for my god daughter’s 1st birthday, I realised that the same finger dexterity gives me an advantage when it comes to wrapping gifts.

Then I thought - wouldn’t it be interesting to see how members of my family who are famed wrappers would fare given the opportunity (the circumstances??) to roll a joint. And even the ones who aren’t so good. Aunt Matty’s joints would therefore be strong and rather too loosely made. Mum’s too would probably be rather good, interestingly.

Dad never wrapped a present in his life, but often clamoured to try various drugs, and in fact if one had broken out an amazing stash of this or that in private, he may have gone for it. Somehow it was always a bridge too far in our family. Many families on the other hand have no qualms. They must operate on a different level of intimacy.
